Financing SMEs and Entrepreneurs 2016
An OECD Scoreboard
This report monitors SME and entrepreneur access to finance in 37 countries. It includes indicators of debt, equity, asset-based finance and framework conditions for SME and entrepreneurship finance, complemented by an overview of recent developments in public and private initiatives to support SME finance. Taken together, these indicators form a comprehensive framework for policy makers and other stakeholders to evaluate the financing needs of SMEs.

Russian Federation
The Russian Federation does not use the EU definition for SMEs (see ). Moreover, the criteria defining an SME are regularly changing (in 2005, 2009 and 2015), making it thus difficult to conduct a comparative analysis and regular assessments in respect of this segment. The Russian State Statistics Service undertakes a complete statistical census of SMEs every 5 years.
